Add to Uruguay to your itinerary from Argentina in a single day!

Our guide Carolina and driver Jaime were great. We hit all the major points throughout the city and surrounding beach communities. It's a long day from Buenos Aires and back - but they walked us through every step of the tour from getting on and off the ferry in Montevideo to getting us back to our hotel at the end. Great way to check off the box for Uruguay!

Great overview of the highlights of Montevideo. Our guide was fantastic as she asked us what we wanted to focus on and was very knowledgeable of a wide range of subjects.

So worth it!

We had an amazing time with Andrea and Manuel! I highly recommend this tour. It may seem daunting or expensive, but it was neither! We got an amazing feel for the city, a very knowledgeable guide, amazing food (loved the parrilla), and many memories.
